Now that you have identified the problem, the possibilities for solutions are more obvious :-) For example, as an alternative to what you have already working, you could note that you have the following line in your config: proxy_set_header Host $http_host; which sends the Host: header to the backend with the value of the $http_host variable, which is the content of the incoming Host: header (and may be empty). If your backend requires that this always be "sample.com", then you could instead use proxy_set_header Host sample.com; or possibly something like $server_name that has the same value. > default_server with specific IP when accessed by a IP address like > http://192.168.1.1/, it will not have a 'host', thus when passed to the app > in the tomcat, it will not hit the right virtual host there, initially I was > thinking, probably nginx can insert the 'host' before proxy to tomcat to > make it work. Strictly, it might have no Host, or it might have a Host of 192.168.1.1. Either way, it is not what your tomcat expects (unless it is *also* the default server for connections to this address). And getting nginx to insert the Host header you want is one way to approach it.
